1 Do you agree with Gever Tulley that the increasing safety regulations for children are limiting children’s opportunities to interact with the world around them? Why or why not? I do agree with Tully because by limiting the children’s opportunity to interact with the world around them, they will not be exposed to these dangers at a young age so they will not learn till later on in life. 2 What can children learn from playing with fire? They learn important things such as intake, combustions, and exhaust while also learning what to do and what not to do when around fire. 3 Which of the “dangerous things” do you think would most beneficial for children? Why? I think owning a pocket knife would be most beneficial because although dangerous, it can come in handy at any time and could potentially save your life. They can also learn how to handle the tool and know how to use it safely without putting anyone else in harm. 4.What role do you think parents should play in helping their children explore the world? How can parents protect their children and let them explore? A parent’s role is to expose the child to the world around them so that they can experience what to do and what not to do at an early age so that they are prepared when they are in a situation without their parents. Parents can protect their children by shielding them from what they deem unsafe and keeping them out of harms way when exploring.
